Linux transition complete. Now I'll get ways to make Ableton and my VSTs work on it and as soon as I find it, I'll do the same on my desktop as well

Do not use AI art for your cover art. If you're gonna phone it in there are literally so many copyleft images out there in the public domain ready to use that won't discredit you as a scab. People went out of their way to give you free shit. Use it. search.creativecommons.org

Apparently people make fun of folks wearing bike helmets? One time my mom was on her bike and got clipped by a truck that crossed into the bike lane. She was not wearing a helmet and fell on her head. It fucked her up for the rest of her life. I don't give a single crispy fuck, WEAR A FUCKING HELMET

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

Playing the metal gear series again and finally played the first 2 on msx and got to MGS in the hd collection. Really puts the technological leap into perspective hot damn

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

If the US implements ID law bullshit I'm not gonna be on these platforms and if I have to I will just give up on this project and the social Internet at that point. Just in case you notice I'm gone after that shit.

Chronic tinnitus since July 2016. 10 years, ups n downs in volume and intrusion upon my mental. Grappled with immense misery and despair over a thing invisible, unrelatable to most. I'm better at managing it now but not free of days of high annoyance/anxiety. PROTECT YOUR EARS, you DON'T WANT THIS!

I'm making Myth Caller: The Nightmare Shaman, a collectathon platformer fused with a monster-taming RPG! Doesn't that wishlist button look mighty tempting on thie fine Wishlist Wednesday? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

One thing I’ve noticed is that people who primarily tell others what to do are impressed by AI. The people who actually do the things are not impressed by AI. Gee, wonder why that might be.
